Milwaukee Employment Service Agency Membership

Milwaukee Careers Cooperative is member-owned by over 40 congregations of all faiths, and community service organizations. The member-owners create the vision for Milwaukee Careers Cooperative; they work in partnership with the staff in finding ways to meet the needs of job-seekers.

There are two options for congregations and organizations to become involved:

To become a member-owner: This entails a one-time membership fee of $2,500, or $500 a year for five years. Each congregation designates a representative and an alternate to act as a liaison between the Co-op and the congregation /organization. Representatives attend semi-annual membership meetings. At the annual membership meeting, the 10-member board is elected from current membership.

To financially sponsor a congregation/organization that does not have the resources for membership dues : Many central city congregations would like to become members, but lack the resources to do so. It is extremely important that the member-owners reflect the ethnic and ecumenical diversity of our community. To be effective, the membership must be a cross-section of the whole community in which we live.
